Snatchural | I tried Scott Barnes x Tati’s Tutorial (and a whole lot of new products!)

Fly Fierce Fab Snatchural Makeup Tutorial for Black Women Scott Barnes Tati

Last month over on Tati's channel (GlamLifeGuru), she dropped a video with celebrity makeup artist Scott Barnes called "JLo's Makeup Artist Does My Makeup". I watched it immediately, as I'm a huge fan of Scott's makeup style, and have been for quite a long time. If you're not familiar with him, you've definitely seen his work. He's the artist behind the signature J.Lo glow, and has worked with countless celebrities. He also did the makeup for J Lo's recent tour. I've been a fan of Scott's since he released his first book, called *About Face. In this book, he[...]

Heat Free Curls: How I Roller Set My Wigs

I got a request to film a tutorial on how I've been roller setting my wigs, to get bouncy soft curls. I used to roller set my hair back in the day when I was relaxed, but it was my hairstylist who suggested that I roller set my wigs as well for smoother curls (she had actually roller set it for me when she had originally styled it). 3 Keys To A Bomb Roller set 1) To make sure that you comb out each section so that the hair is smooth when you roll it. 2) To keep the hair damp (especially the ends) while rolling it 3) To allow the hair to dry COMPLETELY[...]

Are You Pressed? A Guide to The Hottest Press On Nails

Fly Fierce Fab Where to Buy Press On Nails

As a young girl, I fondly remember my mom taking me to Walgreens from time to time and letting me get some press on nails. Nobody could tell me that I wasn't stunting on the girls. As I got a little older (and started doing pageants), I graduated to acrylics and left press on's alone for the most part. Fast forward to the end of my studies in college, studying in the Microbiology lab...my acrylics nails would break through my gloves from time to time which was a problem (I always had to stop what I was doing, and go change them). I decided that while[...]

Makeup for Beginners: How To Highlight and Contour

Fly Fierce Fab Highlight and Contour Tutorial

Over on Instagram, I asked you guys to send me some requests for my next mini makeup tutorial. A got a few for a tutorial on how to highlight and contour, (which is over on Instagram) and it was requested that I make an extended talk through version of my tutorial as well for YouTube. Highlight and contour is probably my favorite step in my makeup routine because it means that I'm in the home stretch and the finish line is in sight. I wanted to keep it simple in this tutorial, and just cover the basics that you need to know in order to successfully snatch your[...]

P. Louise Rumour Base Review: New Shade (#5)

A few months ago, P. Louise Makeup Academy launched their base called "Rumour" which at the time only came in one shade (Retail: 10.00 British Pounds = $13.25 USD. Also note that worldwide shipping was an additional 9.99 GBP, so it total I paid close to $30 USD). Rumour is marketed as a thick, creamy, full coverage base to be used under eyeshadows to make them POP. Last month the makeup academy released additional shades of the base for pre-order (so there are now 7 shades of the base currently available), and I purchased it in shade #5 which is currently[...]

Kendra’s Boutique 360 Frontal + Brazilian Body Wave Hair Review

During their Black Friday Sale, I purchase some hair and a 360 Frontal from Kendra's Boutique. An 18" 360 Frontal, and 4 Bundles of Brazilian Body Wave Hair to be exact (2 x 26", 24" and 22"). I finally uploaded my review on the hair, after making into a wig and wearing it since around the 13th of December. This is my first 360 Frontal, but it definitely won't be my last. I really love how versatile it is, and that the frontal came pre-plucked. In my review I cover my thoughts on the hair, how I care for it, how I apply my wig, and give you all the tea. Check[...]

SZA Love Galore Look & The Golden Hour

I don't celebrate Halloween. When you grow up in Church (as I have), you already know it's not Halloween. It's Harvest Night / Hallelujah Night or whatever, but I did take my youth group out to see the Madea Boo 2 movie. Also, Chipotle always runs that $3 Burrito deal if you come in costume. This is always my incentive to dress up. My strategy is always to utilize as much of my wardrobe as possible, and purchase a few accessories to pull it all together. We already know that I have wigs on deck to aid my transformations (I chose to wear the "Inn[...]
